Battleswarm simultaneously pits first-person shooters (FPS) vs. real-time strategy (RTS) players in this genre-busting online PC game. Players choose between team-based, first-person action, representing individual, elite soldiers or acting as the supreme commander of an alien task force, managing hundreds of alien bugs from a real-time strategy point of view.

Battleswarm allows up to six players to take control of soldiers in team-based, first- or third-person shooter mode, arming themselves from a huge arsenal of high-tech weapons and armor. They compete in discrete missions versus up to four Alien Commanders, who control hundreds of bug-like units in real-time strategy mode. The Alien Commanders must build hives, breed units, and manage their forces in missions to overwhelm the human opponents. Players can create guilds, buy and sell items, and level up their characters.

Battleswarm: Field of Honor will be holding a contest challenging all players to win on both Bug and Human sides of five maps – Arena, Hive Core, Jungle Battle, Ruins, and Urban Battle. Winning players will be awarded three days usage of a premium item, such as "The Universal Rifle."

In addition, all players who log in this weekend, October 24th – 25th, will receive free items in their email boxes including the Gauss Gun, Plasma Rifle, Sabot Rifle, Sabot Machinegun, Acid Beetle, Viper Beetle, Scorpion, and Rhino Beetle.

Finally, there will be a Guild Crusade tournament in which any guild able to claim the most wins on a given map will “own” that map and be able to collect 10% of all the gold earned on that map during the following week.
